Measuring tip M208.173 — Ball Ø10 mm, Thread M2.5 for Dial Gauges (Metav IndustryLine)

A Measuring tip M208.173 designed as a 10 mm spherical contact with an M2.5 threaded mount for precise probing on dial indicators across workshop and inspection tasks.

• 10 mm spherical contact tip
• M2.5 threaded fitting for dial gauges
• Lightweight: 0.1 kg

Precise contact geometry for more reliable readings

The 10 mm ball contact provides a defined, repeatable point of engagement that reduces local surface deformation and yields consistent probe behaviour when checking profiles or resting measurements. As a dedicated measuring tip, this geometry minimises lateral ambiguity at the contact point and supports stable readings on curved or flat surfaces alike. The result is improved precision and enhanced repeatability in routine inspection tasks, making the component suitable as a reliable accessory in a standard metrology toolkit.

Simple mounting and compact form that fits restricted areas

Fitted with an M2.5 thread, the tip is compatible with dial indicators that accept this common mounting size, allowing quick replacement or configuration changes without special adapters. The compact contact head and lightweight construction make it easy to integrate into confined setups, where bulkier probes would obstruct access. This straightforward interface reduces downtime during tool changes and helps maintain measurement flow in production or maintenance environments.

Practical integration into inspection routines and stock management

As an accessories item for dial gauges, the component supports modular measurement strategies: swap the probe to suit varying surface types or reach requirements, keeping a small inventory of contact heads for fast adaptation. The compact nature and clear specification simplify storage and procurement documentation, while the defined contact geometry assists quality teams in creating repeatable test plans. For suppliers and workshops seeking predictable probe behaviour, this accessory provides a simple, focused solution that complements existing indicator fleets.

FAQ

Is this tip compatible with all dial indicators?
Compatibility is determined by the mounting thread; the measuring tip M208.173 fits dial indicators that accept an M2.5 threaded contact.

What is the contact geometry and why does it matter?
The 10 mm spherical contact on the M208.173 provides a defined point of contact that improves measurement repeatability and reduces local surface deformation during probing.

Can the tip be used for measurements in tight or recessed areas?
Yes, the compact head and lightweight nature make the tip suitable for restricted spaces where larger probes would not fit.

How should the tip be stored or inventoried for workshop use?
Keep the tip with other dial gauge accessories in a dedicated compartment or drawer, labelled by article number M208.173, to enable quick selection and reduce setup time.
